A pub that promises much in terms of location, appearance and reputation but doesn’t quite deliver. It’s up the street from the more interesting Old Black Boy and down from the more interesting White Hart. The beer choice is best described as pedestrian, Taylors, Black Sheep and Doombar among the 10 pulls, six of which were serving cider. I can’t complain about the beer quality just the boredom of the choice. Foody smells inside meant we sat in the spacious front yard, fortunately on a bright warm day.

We'd planned to have lunch at the nearby Lion & Key, but found it closed on our Saturday afternoon visit to the city of Hull. So, I quickly hatched a back up plan, which was this pub in the city's Old Town.
As has been said previously, entrance is through an alleyway which opens up into a courtyard. Inside is a single room, which luckily had one spare table. The menu wasn't impressive and with only the landlord and one other person in the kitchen, the food took a while to arrive, as the pub gradually started to empty out.
3 real ales were all from Sussex brewery Laine's - House Amber, Toby's Tipple & Breaker, whilst 3 real ciders were all varieties of Weston's Rosie's Pig - Original, Strawberry & Elderflower and Raspberry & Cucumber.
Children are tolerated, as long as they are quiet!

Accessed through a tabled courtyard in the Old Town Museum Quarter, this is a rather nice pub, if a bit touristy. The main room has bare brick walls and an iron column-supported ceiling and is liberally covered with assorted nautical, beer and other tut. The ale range seemed well kept, if not very adventurous, with Black Sheep, Tetleys, Adnams, Doom Bar, IPA and a house beer from Laine. Some Rosie's Pig ciders were also on handpump and food looked OK although not sampled. Bonus point for friendly staff and an even friendlier pub dog.
